Welcome kaisdeco.

As you sent your your Application in October you should use the October 2020 thread. This one: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/october-2020-citizenship-applicants.704665/

This is the thread related to people who sent the application in January 2021.

Update in my process:

Received official e-mail with the invitation to the test on June 22nd (almost 2 weeks after the system showed we could do the test).
We did the test last Saturday, July 10th. Both of us passed

Can you update the spreadsheet, please?

Thanks!

Congratulations!!

Hello everyone.

I've just passed the test (July 16, 2021).
Invitation received on July 14, 2021.

My only concern is that they wanted me to take a picture of "A photo identification (ID) with your signature on it, such as your permanent resident (PR) card (even if it’s expired)..."

I did, I took a picture of my PR card. But my PR card does not have my signature on it. Do you think this may be an issue?

Thank you.

You will receive it 2 days before the test date.

You will receive it 2 days before the test date.

You mean two days before the test window? Because I'm wondering how I will tell them I want to take the test on X date?

You don't. You can take the test on any day at any time between the test window. No scheduling required.

Ah. Thanks @rajkamalmohanram !

Thank you.

No Issue, PR card is Valid ( even if it is expired or active and without a Signature) becuase it was issued by them (IRCC). Many using it, so far no issues. Morever their instructions says so, they should be aware of that there is no signature. Just RELAX.

Like you Mentioned you took the Picture, and you did your online test, keep monitoring your tracker, they will update the result in 1 or 2 days, if not so lucky in a week or 2. Stay Positive.

You mean two days before the test window? Because I'm wondering how I will tell them I want to take the test on X date?

I had the Same Issue, but i read the Instructions again and again and understood that you can take the test anytime between the dates mentioned until the end time. Even you can take in the Midnight if you have enough lighting in your room. Anytime at your comfort. it' an Open window period they have given.

 

[Help!]

Given this trend, I decided to send a paper application today. Even if it will harm my online application. It can't get any worse. Who supports this guys?

May I ask did you have more than 20 exits From Canada mentioned in your application’s travel history ?

Hey Gorbv.01.

Indeed. We passed the test last Saturday (July 10th), and it appeared on the system on Tuesday (July 12th). Don't know if we will need interview, though. We are also paper application from Montréal.

Congratulations!
